And the (b) glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect [is] toward the east.

(b) Which was departed before, (Ezekiel 10:4; Ezekiel 12:22).

And he said to me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more (c) defile, [neither] they, nor their kings, by their harlotry, nor by the carcases of (d) their kings in their high places.

(c) By their idolatries.

(d) He alludes to Amon and Manasseh, who were buried in their gardens near the Temple and there had erected monuments to their idols.
